2.2.5 Chapters and Sub-topics
• The APA 6th Edition style for heading is adopted for the main body of the
thesis (Chapters 1-5). Major headings, or heading 1, are used for the titles of
chapters such as “Methods” or “Results”. Heading levels two to five are used for
subheadings. Each heading level is formatted differently.
• Title case capitalization means the first letter of the principal words shall be
capitalized.
• Sentence case capitalization means the only the first word and any proper
nouns shall be capitalized.
• Heading 1 shall be centered, bold and in title case capitalization.
• Heading 2 shall be left-aligned, bold and in title case capitalization.
• Heading 3 shall be indented, bold in sentence case capitalization and has a
final period. The body text begins immediately after the period.
• Heading 4 shall be indented, bold, italics, in sentence case capitalization and
has a final period.
• Heading 5 shall be indented, italics, in sentence case capitalization and has a
period. The body text begins immediately after point.
• Sub-topics will be typed after two single spaces after the last line.
• The first page of each chapter is counted but unmarked. All pages are marked
at the upper right-hand margin using Arabic numerals.
• Whenever a heading of a sub-topic appears near buttom of
page, it must be followed by at least one line of text or the heading
shall be forced to the top of the next page.
